Press notices UK Holocaust Memorial to reaffirm Britain’s commitment to stand up against antisemitism, prejudice and hatred Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government and UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation 4 Dec 2018 The Mission Statement for the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation vows that the national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre will reaffirm Britain’s commitment to stand up against antisemitism, prejudice and hatred in all its forms. Released alongside the final designs for the Memorial and Learning Centre proposed for alongside Parliament, the Mission Statement affirms that the Memorial will be a permanent reminder that political decisions have far-reaching consequences. By setting history’s worst example of the disintegration of democratic values against the greatest emblem of Britain’s aspirations for democracy, it will stand as a permanent reminder of the responsibilities of citizens to be vigilant and responsive whenever and wherever those values are threatened. The Memorial, proposed for Victoria Tower Gardens alongside the Houses of Parliament, will be dedicated to the 6 million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust and all other victims of the Nazis and their collaborators. The thematic exhibition will set the Holocaust within the British narrative: historically, politically and culturally. This narrative will be balanced, addressing the complexities of Britain’s ambiguous responses to the Holocaust, avoiding simplistic judgements and encouraging visitors to critically reflect on whether more could have been done, both by policymakers and by society as a whole. The Foundation is firmly committed to working with other institutions across the UK supporting Holocaust commemoration and education. Visitors will be encouraged to explore other resources, including Imperial War Museum London’s new Holocaust Galleries which are due to open in 2021. Opening alongside new Second War Galleries, IWM’s reinterpreted Holocaust Galleries will present critical insights into the Holocaust as well as integrate the devastating events of the Holocaust into the broader history of the Second World War, revealing why this often overlooked dimension is so important. UK Holocaust Memorial co-Chair the Rt Hon Ed Balls said: The proposed Holocaust Memorial will stand as a national place of remembrance of the lives lost and the communities torn apart in the wake of decisions made in another parliament, not so far away in time or distance from our own. 4 Number CDP-0011, 22 January 2019 There is no better place than Victoria Tower Gardens, just metres from our own Parliament, to remind ourselves of the value of democracy and the need to keep the lessons of history at the heart of our institutions and the decisions our elected politicians make every day. Holocaust learning and education is absolutely fundamental if we are to create engaged and vigilant citizens to hold their elected representatives to account. The UKHMF is firmly committed to working closely with the Imperial War Museum and leading organisations across the country to deliver this vital work. UK Holocaust Memorial co-Chair the Rt Hon the Lord Pickles said: The Holocaust had a huge impact on Britain – we are the nation of Kindertransport and liberation; of post-war survival and reconciliation. However, it is important to ensure that our examination of the past is honest and unblinking. We will properly explore aspects of the Holocaust that are less flattering to the United Kingdom. At the core of the proposed Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre is a commitment to learn from this darkest chapter in our history, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to explore the universal lessons of the Holocaust as a reminder of where hatred, intolerance and prejudice can lead if left unchecked. Complementing the many high-quality and committed institutions already engaged in Holocaust education and commemoration, the new Memorial and its exhibition will broaden and deepen understanding of the Holocaust across the whole nation. Secretary of State for Communities the Rt Hon James Brokenshire MP said: The United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre will stand in its exceptional and symbolic location as a national centre for remembrance and education at the very heart of our national life. Our country stands together against the hatred, ignorance and bigotry that led to the Holocaust and other genocides. By placing the greatest example of where democratic institutions elsewhere failed to protect its citizens next to our own Parliament, we are making a strong commitment to stand up whenever our shared values are threatened. The design for the UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, proposed by a team led by architect Sir David Adjaye, with Ron Arad Architects as Memorial Architect, and Gustafson Porter + Bowman as Landscape Architect, has been developed over the past year in consultation with local residents, Holocaust survivors, communities of a range of faiths and backgrounds and key experts from landscape design to Holocaust education. The final scheme as released today proposes a sensitive yet impactful memorial, well integrated into the green space of the Gardens, with a multipurpose courtyard space that leads to a unique underground space set aside for a world leading exhibition on the Holocaust and its impact on Britain. In September 2018, the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation hosted a public exhibition. The second exhibition, taking place this week, outlines the design alterations and modifications made following extensive General debate on Holocaust Memorial Day 2019 5 public consultation and stakeholder engagement ahead of the Memorial’s formal planning submission in the coming weeks. Following feedback from the first exhibition, more information has been provided on the following aspects of the scheme: • Plans for the interior of the Learning Centre and a mission statement to outline plans for a world-leading and unique exhibition that will serve as a national centre of remembrance and education. • Plans to improve the setting of the Buxton Memorial to the abolition of slavery while maintaining views of this important memorial, in addition to the landscape design that will link together the garden’s existing memorials commemorating the efforts and effects of social injustice. • Following public comments, plans to retain 100% of the children’s play area and create a new café kiosk and consult the local community on new play equipment. • More detail on ticketing travel and transport strategies including coach parking. The expectation being that through a pre- booked ticketing strategy in the first 2 years, there will be no queues to the memorial. Traffic will be carefully managed, with limits on coach drop off times and dedicated parking spaces beyond the immediate area. • The measures taken to preserve the Victoria Tower Gardens for the use of all, including a strategy to boost tree health and to enhance and improve the gardens through sensitive landscaping and planting, befitting an historical and cherished London park. Further information The UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre’s exhibition will be open to the public from 12pm-7pm Wednesday 5 December to Friday 8 December and from 10am-4pm on Saturday 9 December.

Kristallnacht 80 years on Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government and UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation 9 November 2018 To mark the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation has today (9 November 2018) released a short film with exclusive testimony from 6 British survivors of the Holocaust. On the 9 and 10 November 1938, Jewish communities in Germany and throughout Nazi occupied territories faced widespread state-sponsored violence against their businesses, homes and places of worship.

  • Mayor's Report November 2017
    16th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly MQT – 16th November 2017 This is my sixteenth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 29 September – 2 November 2017. Executive Summary Government cuts lead to reduction of police front counters On 1 November, I confirmed plans to reduce the number of police front counters in London and save an additional £8 million – equivalent to the cost of 140 police constables – in order to protect and support frontline policing as much as possible, and keep Londoners safe, in the face of Government cuts to police funding. These cuts to Metropolitan Police funding mean police officer numbers in London are falling, and this has meant we have had to consult on drastic measures in order to prioritise public safety and police officers on the beat. Warning police numbers will fall to 19-year low without more funding On 30 October, I made my strongest warning to date over Government police cuts as I called on the Chancellor to use next month’s Budget to end the funding crisis which is putting lives at risk at a time of rising crime, rising population and an unprecedented terror threat in the capital. I warned that police numbers in London would fall as dangerously low as 27,500 by 2021 without additional funding – the lowest level in 19 years. This would represent one police officer per 326 Londoners, compared to one officer per 242 Londoners in 2010 - a fall of 26 per cent.

A música, enquanto forma de representação da identidade cultural, contribui ativamente para a construção da identidade nacional, vinculando-a através dos seus artistas e criações. No quadro da The Creative Cities Network, da UNESCO, e tendo por base a dinamização do sector das “Industrias Criativas”, procedeu-se à identificação das condições base para a preparação de uma futura proposta de atribuição do selo "creative city" à cidade de Lisboa, no sector da música. Foi analisado um conjunto de estudos de carácter científico e estatístico, acerca da performance económica das Indústrias Criativas em Lisboa. Os resultados sugerem que Lisboa reúne as condições materiais, os recursos humanos e técnicos e os espaços físicos para se posicionar como uma cidade criativa, atuando como cluster musical. O Selo poderá promover a internacionalização e a capacidade competitiva da economia da cidade, numa escala regional e global.

  • C.V.7.2. Israeli Popular Music
    1 C.V.7.2. Israeli Popular Music Edwin Seroussi In the early period of Israeli statehood, the means for the support of musical performance, composition, dissemination and education were in the mostly in the hands of governmental agencies and thus controlled by the dominant political and cultural elites. This control by the establishment gradually weakened, particularly following the decentralization of the mass media since the early 1980s. Popular music, a characteristic modern urban phenomenon, and its hallmark, the appeal to heterogenic populations, cosmopolitanism, industrial production and mass distribution in an open market, became then the main mode of music making and consumption in Israel as it did at a global level. From the 1920ies up to the present Popular music defined along these lines first appeared in Israel with the growth of large cities (Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, Haifa, Jerusalem) propelled by the immigration of professional musicians from Poland, Germany and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire in the late 1920s and early 1930s. These musicians developed in Israel new musical venues similar to those of the European cities, such as musical theaters and cabarets where contemporary European songs sung to new Hebrew texts were mixed with new compositions by local composers in genres such as the tango and the fox-trot. The popular music industry in Israel was launched in the mid-1930s when the first commercial record company was founded and a radio station opened in Palestine under the British Mandate that included Hebrew broadcasts. Up to the 1970s, popular music was dominated by tight state-controlled cultural policies and mass media.
